[For a moment, it seems like she isn't coming-- mostly because it's impossible to tell where she'd be coming from.

The helicopter makes a tremendous amount of noise, and the reverberating funnel formed by the gulf between buildings doesn't help. The thunderous thwop of rotors and blades lurches against the sky, incongruous to the lazy shift of day-time clouds blowing across the sky. The Agents are getting closer. The fact that one cannot hear them above the wind and engine noise and the handful of peering spectators and the rest of the chaos isn't good news.

It might be bad.

But the chopper finally squeezes into view. Its shiny black beetle silhouette pops out from above the edge of the roof. It sags dangerously to a hovering stop, and a heavy black microfiber cord drops down, looped at the end to give it some semblance of weight, but it only helps so much. The rope swings haphazardly in and out, a precarious reach for any ordinary man standing on a balcony.

Zora sounds somewhat less composed this time when she screams,]
Get your ass up here! [The head that pokes out to look at him from above belongs to a dude, her fellow crewmember. At this distance, the man's expression is impossible to read, but there's a certain unmistakable urgency about the situation, and the fact he's clutching a semi-automatic magazine-fed rifle by which he intends to cover Korben's leap.]
